Microsoft opening special Holiday Store at Perimeter Mall

(WXIA) -- To go along with the Microsoft Store at Lenox Square Mall in Buckhead, Microsoft is launching what they are calling a "Holiday Store" at Perimeter Mall in time for the release of Windows 8 and the Christmas holidays.

The new store will be on the lower level of Perimtere Mall near the food court, and open on Friday, October 26. It's one of 32 special holiday stores the company is opening across North America to get a broader audience ahead of the holiday shopping season. Microsoft has 30 regular retail stores in the US and Canada.

The new store will also feature Microsoft's new Surface tablet product, which is also slated to go on sale by the end of October.
